My kitten has a subtle rash or bump on her cheek. What could it be?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. It looks like it could be from an injury if there is a scab on it. A scab means it's healing, so I would just keep an eye on it for now. If you see signs of infection, it gets bigger, it starts to bother her, or it doesn't appear to be healing, then have Fatina seen by a vet. I hope this helps!

Hi and thank you so much for your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to say exactly what it may be sight unseen (can't get a good look or feel from the picture), I can certainly offer a few possibilities. It may be just a scab from playing rough or bumping into something. It also could be a small abscess from one of her vaccines she received previously-that sometimes can happen and is quite common. Another possibility would be a bite wound from another cat or a fungal or bacterial infection. If the lesion feels like little millet seeds, it could be a flea allergy (especially if she is not receiving a month to month flea preventative). If it gets worse or does not improve in a few days, I would bring her into her primary care veterinarian an exam and diagnostic testing. Best wishes to you and Biscuit!

Hello there, Thanks for the good photo. If it is a small minor wound like a pimple or scratch, it should be mostly healed within a week of forming. If its been present for longer than that or is worsening, I would be more concerned that it is the start of an infection or growth that would benefit from being seen by her veterinarian. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Baby. Oh that looks awful. I'm concerned he could have mange or a severe skin infection. Without seeing him in person, I cannot make a definitive diagnosis. You cannot treat this at home, and you need to take him into a vet today get this treated. Best of luck.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. From the images you have posted it appears to be a slightly raised patch of skin. This could be a bit of a skin tag or a wart, or could be a bit of a reaction to a bug bite. It could also be a bit of a scab. From the image it is hard to tell exactly. If the area is not painful, and Ghost is eating, drinking and playing normally, then just monitor the spot for now. If it goes away it is likely a bit or a scratch. If it gets worse (red, swollen, bigger, or has any discharge) then I would have it seen by a vet. I would also check your kitten for fleas in case this is a scab from scratching due to itchiness from fleas. Best of luck with Ghost!

That looks like a possible pustule from the picture. In that location it could be a skin infection or possibly a tooth abscess. Of course a skin growth or tumor could be possibilities as well. I would definitely recommend that she be seen by a veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on the pictures you provided, I would recommend just monitoring this for the time being. It could be an area swollen from her hitting her chin on something or it could be an infection / pimple (acne). If it does not resolve on its own, I would recommend having Mouse examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. Please take the time to mark this question as helpful or not as it helps us to improve on the quality of our answers to other pet owners. Thank you kindly!
